Business big shot: Didier Drouet

LK Bennett has sought to accentuate its international leanings with the
addition of a former LVMH lieutenant. Didier Drouet began work yesterday at
the private equity-backed company with the avowed intent of developing the
women’s wear brand “globally”.

For more than four years until 2011, he was chief executive of Emilio Pucci,
the French luxury conglomerate’s Florence-based fashion house. Before that
he had stints at Salvatore Ferragamo, as its director of European retail,
and as Alliance Designers’ general manager in charge of Stephane Kélian, a
premium shoe label, and Poiray, a luxury jeweller.
